These peanut butter and chocolate shortbread bars are layered with a crumbly peanut filled shortbread on the bottom, a creamy peanut butter filling in the middle, and a luscious chocolate ganache on top.

These peanut butter and chocolate shortbread bars are easy to make, and will probably pretty much disappear the minute you set out the platter.

These blueberry muffins with blueberry jam and lemon sugar topping are sweet, delicious, and loaded with blueberry flavor.

After baking these buttermilk chocolate cookies, I had lots of leftover buttermilk. A friend saw my post and, coincidentally, had leftover buttermilk too from making these blueberry muffins. She thought the cookie recipe would be perfect for using up some of her leftover buttermilk... which of course inspired me to use up some of MY leftover buttermilk to make the muffins.

This sourdough apple bread, loaded with Granny Smith apples and golden raisins, is so soft and flavorful.

This sourdough apple bread is tangy and fruity. The dough is leavened with both sourdough starter and instant yeast. It's a method I like using when I want to add flavor to my loaves, but still want to be able to follow a shorter baking schedule.

Maque Choux, a traditional corn dish from southern Louisiana, is fast and easy to prepare, and with hot smoked sausage, is a wonderful 30-minute meal.

Maque Choux (pronounced "mock shoe") is a Creole dish with corn, bell peppers, onions, and green onions. It can also include other vegetables and tomatoes, and even okra. It's a delicious weeknight (or anytime) one pan meal.

This strawberry Swiss roll cake, an almond chiffon cake filled with fresh strawberries and a mascarpone, white chocolate, and whipped cream mixture is light, not too sweet, and perfect for a tea time snack or dessert.

This is my first time attempting a cake roll! I've always been intimidated, but finally decided to try making one. After all, one of my goals with this site is to flex new cooking and baking muscles and share my experiences.

These potato dinner rolls are so light, fluffy, and moist, and they stay dinner table soft and fresh for at least a couple of days, although they'll probably disappear sooner than that.

The recipe for these potato dinner rolls is super flexible. You make and bake these rolls in just under three hours (mostly hands off). You can also let the rolls rise in the refrigerator for 8 to 16 hours before baking. This delayed rise will develop more flavor, and allow you to bake the rolls at your convenience.

Make these Make-ahead freezer breakfast burritos over the weekend for the best breakfast all week long. They are a hearty and delicious way to start the day. If you think you'd get bored with a breakfast burrito every morning (I sure wouldn't), just alternate them with these freezer breakfast sandwiches.

Brazilian cheese bread, or Pão de Queijo, are airy puffs of cheesy deliciousness.

Pão de queijo, little cheese puffs that resemble French gougères (pâte à choux cheese puffs), are eaten as a breakfast snack with coffee in Brazil. I think they would also make an excellent savory cocktail party snack.
